« Directors Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt present a remarkably nuanced and sympathetic portrait of [Billy] Tipton's life through a fascinating lens. They 'audition' several trans actors to play Tipton in a would-be biopic, and this leads to discussions about the difficulty of being a trans person in the world. Though as Marquise Vilson, a Black trans man notes, it's impossible to put yourself in the shoes of a trans man of any colour in 1955. Even the vocabulary barely existed to talk about it. »
